It's nice there are stores to go to for the locals. It's an outdoor mall nothing like Irvine Spectrum, Santana Row or Stanford.
The weird thing about Downtown Summerlin is their Starbucks i-s tucked in the corner of Macy's mens. The coffee shop is so small makes you think why didn't Starbucks have their own store - maybe they are testing the waters to see if the place would boom.
There's lots of parking which is good and the whole mall as I mentioned is outdoors so when it's hot in Vegas it's HOT you will be hot and bothered shopping. When it's cold in Vegas it's bitter cold so you will be running to get in to the store for heat. Not enough shade, places to sit and unfortunately you have to be careful crossing the streets cause the cars can drive up and down the streets and sometimes doesn't stop or drives too fast - unlike Stanford and Irvine Spectrum you don't have to worry about cars driving while shopping.
The restaurants are new so I'm just going to give it a number 2 for now since I'm not familiar with them and they are not that popular in my book.
Macy's, Dillards is small compared to the Fashion Mall but it's good enough to go and buy last minute items if you can't wait for an online order or go to the Fashion Mall. There is no Nordstrom. They have a Nordstrom Rack and I have to say I was HUGELY disappointed I felt I walked into a Marshall's or one of those out of date clothing stores. Sorry if I offend anyone - I'm just not a fan or ever shopped in a store like that.
I'm hoping in due time the place livens up. I heard a few people say it's Meh and not lively enough for them to stay. Let's hope they will grow and learn they're still inexperienced in a lot of ways.
